# Defold

> A compact game engine for 2D and 3D projects

Defold is a game engine for developing 2D and 3D projects. Write logic in Lua and add native extensions when the game needs functionality beyond the standard tools. The editor, build system, and runtime work together for desktop, web, mobile, and supported console targets.

Hot reloading, a debugger, and profiling tools support iteration during development. Live Update delivers content after release, and editor scripts customize the workflow. The source is available under Defold's own license. An asset portal supplies additional functionality, with learning material and community resources for working with the engine and building custom extensions.
